Having recently purchased a digital camera, I wanted to fast-track through the learning curve. Well, completing the learning curve over the weekend may be aggressive, but this is a good book to start with.
It is written in easily consumable language, an informal style, it focuses on only a few fundamentals and describes how to take specific types of pictures.
The book can be read in only a couple of hours but it is structured so it can be used as a reference for later.
The author covers the following topics, including technique and composition:
- Getting Sharp pictures
- Flowers
- Landscape
- Sports
- People
- Weddings
- Travel and City shots
For example, to take a shot of the moon, the instructions are: in manual mode f/11, shutter 1/250 second; zoom as tight as possible.
